I have been growing my hair out FOREVER!!! Seriously though--since before we got pregnant with Quinn. It still isn't even that close to how long I want it. Sometimes I reminisce about my cute short hair. What do you think it cuter--long or short? Be honest.Short...Short...Long. (SORRY--this was the only picture I had on the computer of my LONG hair...haha...it's horrible, I know)

Grandma and Grandpa Keller came over for a visit this weekend. I should take a picture of all the landscaping we did!! Our yard is looking awesome. Before they left they wanted to take a family photo--this was the best one from our camera--hopefully they got a better one on theirs!!!Here's Quinn looking cute having a snack before going outside to play.

I don't know what to say to explain this video....um....she LOVES the challenge of walking about with something on her head or shoulders...so she is wearing the bag I just made. She's saying 'open,' if you can't tell--then 'cracker.' then 'dada.' She's a nut!!

I guess I've been sewing a lot lately...here's the bib I just finished. Quinn was so willling to model it for you....But just for a minute...then she said 'open, open, open, open, open.' until I took it off her :)

Quinn is 13 months old!! It's been so much fun since she got over her flu--she has been so happy. She walks ALL over the place, laughs all the time, and talks NON-stop. She also got her great appetite back....what a life.She had a 'weight check' at the doctor's this week....she's still 15 pounds!! So much for fattening her up. Having the flu right before her weight check didn't help!

Quinn can say 'open.' She says it a lot--she wants me to open all sorts of things....doors, cabinets, gates, ziplock bags--pretty much anything we are trying to keep her out of. This time she wanted me to open the Pediasure...over and over again. At least I could get her to take a sip in between the openings...she probably needs the nutrition since she's been so sick!! ( i love the milk mustache)If she could say 'please,' right here she'd be saying "please open."We got Quinn this magnet toy for the fridge. It plays music--right here she is dancing, but unfortunately it's just a snapshot...so imagine her little legs bouncing up and down.

The weather on Saturday was perfect, so we took advantage and hung outside for a long time. We went to the park and for a walk and then decided to just put a blanket on the lawn and bring out some toys for Quinn. What a fun day!Dave after 10 minutes of having the blanket outside.

Quinn has been getting in boxes again lately. This one just seemed too tiny--but somehow she managed.Great spot to stand and read books?This video cracks me up...I love how she laughs about it....sneaky, sneaky.ps...i swear Quinn has pants

Quinn has become a pro at going down the steps. I wish that she would take her time more....it's like she's trying to go as fast as she can. The end of this video is funny..you can tell she knows the drill.

Sorry--this one is of her back---but good steps!!Pay attention to her little laugh at the very end...she's funny. And yes--this is the balloon from Kelsey's baby shower like 3 weeks ago. Quinn uses it to stand up all the time, and also pushes it around the bonus room. Best $1.50 anyone ever spent

We had a hard time catching a video of Quinn walking this weekend. It turns out it has to be HER idea. If we stand her up and try to have her walk she gets MAD. But if she happens to be standing near something and she wants to go...she goes. Super cute. Here are just a couple steps....don't blink, you might miss them.

We went to the park today...the weather is finally amazing. We've been to the park lots of times, but Quinn hasn't ever really 'played' before. Here she is trying out the slide.Here she is trying out the wood-chips.Wood-chips are fascinating. She even carried one home as a souvenir.Quinn loves to hand me things....I guess wood-chips are no different.

I thought I'd tell you all some things about Quinn right now since I haven't for a while:

Her favorite toy is her bike (she gets really excited when she sees it. She can run and steer amazingly well. She even goes 'beep, beep.' super cute.She LOVES prunes. For obvious reasons I only let her have one...but it is never enough--she would probably eat the whole bag if I'd let herShe is a GREAT eater. Sometimes I swear she eats more than I do. Pretty amazing for a shrimpy girl.She weighs 15 pounds 2 ouncesShe is hilarious...getting her dadd'y's sense of humor I guessShe can say: happy, apple, ball, baby, daddy, mommy, beep, up, woof, aachooo, and daalabebebelabeShe is ALMOST sleeping through the night. She was for a while, but then we started her on an allergy medicine that messed everything up...but we are confident that she will go back to sleeping all night again....soon.Despite being a good sleeper at night she has always been a HORRIBLE napperShe loves to see pictures of people. (we have a picture of Caleb,Ellie, and Levi on the fridge....we should get a video of how sweetly she smiles when i point and say their names)She is better in the car, but still no angel. The only thing that keeps her happy are snacks...so I try to not give her any before we leave so she is still hungry for the food I pass back to her.
